Hello my faithful readers. I've read a review that has brought to mind some little tiny facts from my last post. First off, the reason Kagome didn't wake up when all the shooting and stuff went down was because she was still passed out from the affects of the poison. And the reason Inuyasha kept going after getting shot in the shin was because he was so determined that nothing would stop him. Okay? Hope that clears some things up. Okay, on to the next post!
Chapter 8: Kikiyo, Rest in Peace
Kagome now walked though the woods. She was trying to remember what had happened the other night. All she really remembered was her talking to Inuyasha and then blacking out. The next thing she saw was waking up in the well with Inuyasha. She new she had to get better at fighting if they were ever going to getting the rest of the shards from Naraku. She quickly pulled out the Tetsuiaga and it transformed, but the blade was to heavy and it hit the dirt. I have to pick this dumb thing up or I'll never get any better! She yelled at her self. She then took a deep breath and tried to lift it again.
Inuyasha now sat in field in his normal cross-legged stance. He had to figure out a way to change back. The Shikon Jewel could do it, but then he has wasted his wish to become a full demon. But the more he thought about it, the more he started to wonder, did he really want to be a full fledge demon? What if he hurt all the ones he had come to care about? He has become a full demon before and almost hurt his friends. As he sat and thought about this, he heard a voice yell "Wind Scar!" and an explosion come from the woods. Inuyasha got to his feet and headed into the woods. He ran as fast as he could, trying to remember where the explosion had come from. After several minutes of Hunting he found Kagome. She was sweating badly and was tired. She was leaning on the transformed Tetsuiaga for support and there marks on the ground to show the Wind Scar had been used. "Kagome, are you okay?" Inuyasha asked, running forward. She looked at him with a tired smile on her face and panted, "I-I…can use…t-t-the W-Wind Scar!" Inuyasha couldn't believe what he was hearing! She was able to pick up the sword and use the Wind Scar in the same day! He thought in shock. His concern soon turned into annoyance. "So what!" He growled. "Aren't you happy for me? Now I can fight and get the jewel to change us back!" She said with shock. He only shrugged his shoulders and walked off towards camp. Leaving Kagome in a state of shock.
That stupid, selfish jerk! Kagome thought with anger. I'm working my butt off, so we can change back, and he acts like its no big deal! She screamed in her head. She wanted so bad to ring his little neck! But she took a deep breath and regained her cool. Everything would be all right. He is just upset about being a human right? With these calming thoughts in her head she started towards the camp. But as she walked, the smell of Clay filled her nose. "Hello Kikiyo." Kagome greeted without turning around. "Who are you?" Asked the soft familiar voice. Kagome turned around and saw a flash of shock fall over the dead woman. "What mess have you gotten yourself into this time." She asked in a dull tone. "A demon switch me into a hanyou and Inuyasha into a human but I don't think that is any of your concern." Kagome told her. "Inuyasha is human!" She said with shock in her voice. "Yes, and he is being a complete jerk about it!" Kagome yelled, becoming angry again. "How dare you speak in such a way! You have no idea the pain he has gone through!" Kikiyo yelled at her. Kagome only scowled at her. "You will die for what you've said!" Kikiyo screamed, pulling out her bow.
Inuyasha now sat, feeling guilty once again, for what he had said. He knew he should've shown more support, but instead he let his jealousy get in the way, and he acted like a complete jerk! I have to go apologize! He told himself, getting to his feet. He then walked out of the hut and back towards were he last saw Kagome.
Kagome and Kikiyo now both stood tired and out of breathe. Kagome was leaning on the Tetsuiaga. Kikiyo's outfit had tears and rips, and some areas were bleeding. Kagome had a bad cut on her face and small cuts all over her body. Kikiyo quickly sent one of her soul collectors towards Kagome but she jumped in the air to avoid it and yelled "Wind Scar!" Kikiyo was hit and knocked back onto the ground. "Kikiyo?" a voice asked from behind. Kagome turned to see Inuyasha standing there with shock on his face. "Inuyasha." Kikiyo said with no emotion in her words. Kikiyo quickly got onto her feet and prepared for another attack. Kikiyo quickly shot an arrow at Kagome, who was not ready for the attack, but Inuyasha dove at Kagome and pulled her to the ground. "You truly care for this girl. Am I but just a fond memory to you?" Kikiyo asked with sadness. "Kikiyo, you are not alive. You are but bones and clay. I must move on and stop living in the past." Inuyasha said with pain in his voice. "I see." She said. Suddenly all the souls she had collected started to come out of her body. "Then I too shall stop living in the past and move on to hell were I belong." She said with tears coming out of her eyes. She then expected the Fires of hell to come up and drag her to hell, but instead a light from above shown down upon her. "What is happening?" Kikiyo asked, being lifted to the sky. "You have forgiven, so now your can rest in peace in heaven." Inuyasha said with a smile. A smile spread across the soft face of the priestess as she was lifted into the sky and disappeared. "Kikiyo, Rest In Peace." Inuyasha said with a tear in his eye.
